Little Cardamom - Chapter 91
Ming Tan didn’t bother much, and continued to walk to the study. Fang stepped into the courtyard door, and Shu Jingran just pushed the door and walked out.
Seeing that it was Ming Tan, he cupped his hands and saluted: “Princess.”
“Second Master Shu is leaving now? I’m about to get some snacks to fill your stomachs.” Ming Tan was a little surprised, took the food box from Su Xin, and walked forward slowly.
Shu Jingran smiled regretfully: “Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but it’s getting late, and my father is still waiting for Shu in the mansion, so I’m afraid he won’t have the chance to enjoy the snack prepared by the princess.”
so.
Ming Tan understood, and didn’t force him to stay.
After ordering someone to send Shu Jingran out of the house, Ming Tan went into the study alone. Jiang Xu was still standing in front of the sand table, not knowing what he was playing with. She put the food box on the table and glanced at the three wine cups that hadn’t been cleared away.
“Husband, I prepared some supper, but you don’t even need much for dinner, so hurry up and use some.”
Jiang Xu said “hmm”, turned around and sat back at the table.
He also noticed the three wine cups, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of mentioning them when he sat down for a snack. Although Ming Tan was a little curious about the figure he had just glimpsed outside, it was obvious that Jiang Xu didn’t intend to mention it, so she Did not take the initiative to ask.
The next day, Jiang Xu was going to enter the palace again. Ming Tan was free, and he wanted to ask Imperial Physician Feng if there was any way to get pregnant earlier, so he sent someone to invite her early in the morning.
Unfortunately, the imperial doctor Feng went back to his hometown for the New Year, and he is still on his way back to Beijing.
She thought about it, and then asked someone to invite Dr. Renxintang Yu, who gave Shen Hua an abortion.
When Dr. Yu heard that Princess Dingbei had an invitation, he was very nervous. His heart was in a state of turmoil. While packing up the medicine box, he nervously handed money to the maidservant who came to invite someone: “Girl, do you know that the princess is looking for a villain?” , What is the matter? As far as the villain knows, the princess has always been asked for pulse by the imperial physician in the palace.”
The maid smiled and pushed the silver back: “Don’t worry, doctor Yu, the second young lady of the Li family is the cousin of my concubine. Didn’t you give the second young lady a baby? The second young lady is full of praise for you and said You are a master of gynecology, that’s why our princess wants to invite you over to the house.”
Hearing that it was the second young lady of the Li family who recommended it to the concubine, Doctor Yu finally swallowed his heart, and he almost figured out what the concubine wanted to do in looking for him.
Ming Tan knew that a doctor who could make a name for himself in Beijing would not be a fool, so he talked to him a few words in the flower hall, and then asked him straight to the point.
Dr. Yu also answered quickly and meticulously. He has practiced medicine for many years, and not one or two people asked him about assisted conception methods, and he could blurt out the words without thinking carefully.
Ming Tan listened carefully, nodding from time to time. Although she doesn’t know medical skills, she also feels that Dr. Yu has some real talents.
After he finished his instructions, Ming Tan took the initiative to say: “Then please ask Doctor Yu to take the pulse. For Chinese New Year, the imperial doctor went back to his hometown to visit relatives. I haven’t checked Ping An’s pulse for a long time.”
Doctor Yu hastily answered yes, and took out the pulse pillow and fine cloth from the medicine box graciously: “Princess, please.”
Ming Tan put his hand on it.
After a while, Doctor Yu withdrew his hand, and said gently: “The princess is a little weak, she walks around more on weekdays, and she needs to pay more attention to her diet, and eat less spicy, raw or cold food.”
“That’s what the doctor said too.”
Doctor Yu comforted again: “The imperial physician is skilled in medicine, and there is an imperial physician to take care of the princess. It’s not a big problem if her body is weak. The princess is relieved, she will be pregnant sooner or later.”
Ming Tan nodded, signaling Su Xin to offer the consultation fee.
Although it was expected that Dr. Yu would not dare to say anything outside, but to be on the safe side, she still wanted to hint a few more words, and don’t tell others about today’s family visit. It’s just that before she had time to speak, the little girl below brought in the soup.
“Let’s put it aside for now, and drink it when it cools down.” She ordered.
Doctor Yu glanced at it, but didn’t pay much attention to it, but the soup was still steaming, trickling into his nostrils.
He seemed to smell a kind of medicinal material that seemed to be there, it was very faint, but also very rare, and it was rare to see. He had only seen it once, and he was not sure at all. He hesitated and smelled it again, and subconsciously asked: “Princess This is what you drink?”
“The imperial doctor specially prescribed the tonic soup for me to take care of my body.” Seeing his expression, Ming Tan noticed something, and asked suddenly, “But… is there something wrong?”
Doctor Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
The doctor prescribed it.
Isn’t the rounding off the acquiescence of His Highness King Dingbei?
Dr. Yu is also a smart person, and after turning his mind for a while, he hurriedly responded nervously: “No, no, nothing wrong, the villain just asked casually.”
He complained endlessly in his heart, and now he regretted it, very regretful.
If he had known this, he shouldn’t have come to the Dingbei Palace, and he didn’t know if His Royal Highness Dingbei knew that he had been to the Palace today, would he be able to see the sun tomorrow morning!
Thinking of this, he couldn’t stop sweating from his forehead, swallowed, and quickly got up to leave.
Then he retreated to the door, but someone stopped him.
Ming Tan sat on the head, scooped up the bowl of tonic soup, and said calmly: “Doctor Yu, what’s wrong with this soup? Tell me.”
“Small, the little ones dare not.”
“If you tell me, the prince may find you trouble. But if you don’t say it, I will find you trouble now.”
“…”
When it came to this point, Doctor Yu had no choice but to step forward tremblingly, tasted the mouth tonic soup to confirm, and carefully separated the doorway inside from Mingtan.
After Ming Tan listened to it, he was silent for a while, and there was no emotion on his face.
Dr. Yu cautiously searched for it and said: “This Bizitang is not harmful to Princess Yu’s body, and the herbs in it do have the effect of warming and tonifying. Perhaps, maybe the imperial doctor prescribes it temporarily.”
Ming Tan didn’t respond, but waved his hand, signaling the maid to take him down.
The flower hall suddenly became empty and quiet, Ming Tan sat quietly for a while, and suddenly ordered: “You don’t need to tell the prince what happened today, remember those little girls.”
“Miss–“
Su Xin wanted to persuade something, but Ming Tan waved back without refusal: “You go down first, I want to be quiet for a while.”
Inviting Doctor Renxintang to enter the mansion was originally in the name of seeing a doctor for Su Xin. When Jiang Xu returned to the mansion, he heard the secret guard routinely reported the affairs of the mansion, so he didn’t think much about it.
Two days passed so unhurriedly, Su Xin looked at her young lady as if nothing happened, and treated the prince as usual, she was really worried and frightened.
Her family’s young lady is not a temper who can hold things back. Usually, she will make trouble immediately, and she can’t wait, but this time…everything is abnormal, there must be a demon.
On the third day, there was a message from the Imperial Medical Office that the Imperial Physician Feng had returned, and after noon, he would come to the palace to ask for a pulse for the princess.
Ming Tan waited patiently for Imperial Physician Feng, and when Imperial Physician Feng came to the mansion, she cut to the chase and asked him how to help her conceive.
Imperial Physician Feng paused for a moment, and then answered carefully, several of which were consistent with what Doctor Yu said.
Ming Tan observed his expression calmly, and finally drank a bowl of tonic soup in front of him, but except for a slight hesitation when she asked about the method of assisted conception, he didn’t show any abnormality on his face.
Jiang Xu had something to do, so he went straight to the study when he came back at night.
At Haishi, Ming Tan went to visit him with snacks. He just finished his work and ate snacks in the study. The two of them walked back to Qi’an hall slowly under the cold moonlight, chatting a little bit on the way, just like Usually relaxed and comfortable.
After returning to the house, the two took a bath together, and it was rare to have a lingering time when the love was strong.
Jiang Xu found that the little concubine was very enthusiastic tonight, she came twice in the clean room, and pestered him to ask for it twice when she got back to the bed. On weekdays, she would have been crying and screaming for pain and tiredness.
When the wind stopped and the rain rested, Ming Tan was so tired that she couldn’t lift her hands, she panted and said softly: “Husband, help me put the pillow under my waist.”
“do what.”
“Physician Feng said that this is more helpful for conceiving.” Ming Tan moved his position seriously, his voice was quiet but serious.
Jiang Xu was silent: “Didn’t I say it last time, you are young, it doesn’t matter if you give birth two years later, don’t worry.”
“But my cousin Hua and my concubine are both happy. During this New Year’s festival, there are not a few people who are happy to visit and pay New Year’s greetings. I don’t have one. If it wasn’t for the doctor Feng who said that I was fine, I would have thought that I couldn’t conceive. Woolen cloth.”
Jiang Xu was speechless for a long while.
Ming Tan didn’t seem to realize it, and counted down the methods of assisted pregnancy that the imperial physician said, intending to try them one by one.
Jiang Xu listened, and suddenly interrupted: “There’s no need to try, you won’t be pregnant yet.”
He rubbed her head and told the whole story about Bizitang.
Ming Tan listened to him quietly, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief——
She was right, the husband didn’t want her to conceive on purpose. In the past few days, her mood was very complicated, and countless speculations flashed in her mind, but in the end she still wanted to believe in her husband, and believed that it was not that he didn’t want to have children with her. That’s why she pretended not to know today, and she did a full set of acting, just wanting to hear him tell about Bizi Tang himself.
Even though she was acting, she couldn’t be unsurprised, so she stared straight at her and asked, “Then Butang is Bizitang? Why didn’t your husband say it earlier?”
“I didn’t tell you before, because I thought it was unnecessary, but I didn’t expect that you would have so many burdens.” He took her into his arms and said quietly, “Wait another year or two, you can have as many children as you want.” Give birth to a few, and wait for your health to recuperate first.” Waiting for the king to recover Rongzhou first, he said silently.
In fact, Ming Tan has been taking care of him for nearly a year, and now his childbearing is completely fine, but sooner or later, the first battle in Rongzhou took place in the past two years, and the battlefield is never victorious. If he can’t return with a complete victory, then he will have no children necessary.
He didn’t want his child to be like himself, who lost his father before he knew it, and he didn’t want his wife to be like his mother, living alone in the world, with unnecessary ties.
Ming Tan nodded, and nestled obediently in his arms. She is very sensible, as long as he is willing to take the initiative to tell, she is willing to understand.
The moonlight was like water, quietly falling from the window lattice, and the two had their own thoughts.
In fact, Jiang Xu didn’t know it. Today, when the imperial physician replied, he heard the clues. After checking that Dr. Yu who came to the mansion that day was a master of gynecology, and he was not good at wind, cold and miscellaneous diseases, it was not difficult for him to guess that she knew how to avoid it The matter of Zitang. All kinds of dramas and temptations tonight, all she wanted was his frank confession, and since that was the case, her wish was fulfilled.
